Eve 6 (sometimes typeset as EVE 6 or EVƎ 6) is an American rock band from Southern California, who are most well known for their hit singles "Inside Out" and "Here's to the Night". They disbanded in 2004, returned in 2007 with a new lineup, and finally reunited with all three original members in March 2011. They announced their signing to Fearless Records on May 3, 2011.
The band originally consisted of Max Collins (bass, lead vocals), Jon Siebels (guitar, backing vocals), and Nick Meyers (drums). The band formed in 1995 in La Crescenta, California first as Yakoo, then Eleventeen; the name Eve 6 was only adopted later. Their first gig was at Eagle's Coffee Pub in North Hollywood. Eleventeen had secured a recording contract with RCA while the bands members were still in high school. After the recording of Eleventeen, Meyers left the band, and was replaced by Tony Fagenson.
The band's final name is a reference to The X-Files. Fagenson, a fan of the show, suggested the name after seeing an episode entitled "Eve". The episode featured genetically engineered characters known as "Eves", for the females, and "Adams", for the males. The Eves were portrayed by Harriet Sansom Harris. One of these genetically engineered characters, named "Eve #6," made a remark about biting a guard's eyeball, which Fagenson thought merited "Eve 6" as a band name.[citation needed]
The first noel
The angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
HOO, HOO HOO, HOO, broooeee
I like Christmas, i like Christmas,
I like Christmas, Christmas is fun!
I like Christmas, i like Christmas,
I like Christmas, Christmas is fun!
Do you like Christmas?
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the herd
It gave grand light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
HOO, HOO HOO, HOO, so
I like Christmas, i like Christmas,
I like Christmas, Christmas is fun!
I like Christmas, i like Christmas,
I like Christmas, Christmas is fun!
Do you like. do you like Christmas?
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
SO, So so so, ohooh ooooh
i love you all.
I am a citizen, a friend and a neighbor
(Towing the line, towing the line)
I'm always keeping on my best behaviour
(Towing the line, towing the line)
I like to think I like to try to, try to do what's right
But still I get this feeling that I can't deny
I tell myself I'm better than the average lot
But I'm not
I know it
And I'm about to show it
(Chorus)
So take me downtown on a company dime
Punch me in the arm, make sure I'm alive
I need a weekend
Gotta kick out the dust
Get my motor running 'cause it's starting to rust
Shake it off, turn me on, turn me on
I've been down on the ground for too long
So take me downtown
Take me downtown, down, down, down
I'm a professional, the family is stable
(Towing the line, towing the line)
We join hands for the prayer at the table
(Towing the line, towing the line)
I like to think I try to, try to do what's right
I go rolling in the dirt, but I clean up nice
I tell myself I'm better than the average lot
But I'm not
I know it
And I'm about to show it
(Chorus)
I wanna feel, to feel so far away
I wanna feel, to feel so far away
To feel so far away
I wanna feel
Burning like a open nerve
I'm running like a dog
On linoleum
I don' t know how come
But the effect of you on me is too much
Bro its' like your speaking code
I'm only 3 months old
I swear I'm so close
To buying a bottle of SoCo
A pack of smokes and saying fuck it all
'Cause I tried to forgive you
For the shit you put me through
But it's just the hardest thing to do
So I guess it's goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
I'll see you on the other side of the curtain
Turning like a broken wheel
My own Achilles heal
Tell me how does it feel
To have a normal day
Despite all my rage
I'm just a rat in a cage
Thoughts, they come and crowd my mind
And they're never kind
It happens all the time, it happens all the time
I'm running out of time, I'm running out of time
'Cause I tried to forgive you
For the shit you put me through
But it's just the hardest thing to do
So I guess it's goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
I'll see you on the other side of the curtain
Now the spotlight shines upon you all alone
Cuts a circle 'round your velvet throne
You take in the applause and give a shallow bow
I'm watching in the rafters now
And you strike up that pose while they're throwing the roses
Lifting up your arms like the statue of Moses
One door opens another one closes
I'm watching in the rafters now
So I guess it's goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
I'll see you on the other side of the curtain
So I guess it's goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
I'll see you on the other side
Goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
OK I'm boring you I'm warning you tonight,
Is not the night for fights, lies white or otherwise
My mood isn't better yet Sober and humorless,
if you can't handle this, roll off the mattress
I'm trying to let you know that your not just another
When you're under the covers I'm under your thumb
And your the finest of specimens
Leaving me breathless
Reeling and restless, putting me to the test
Turn the light off Leave me where i lay
Bring the night on
Not another day
OK I'm lying when I'm telling you you're right
but you don't like the truth served straight or otherwise,
I'm an insomniac
Tossing and turning and,
Well she's lying in our bed sweating staring at the ceiling
I know her worried head is aching, I know the cause is me
I could leave the bathroom light on for better dreams tonight
My stability, my luxury, my life
And I won't go, neither will you turn off the phone, let's sleep 'til two
Your sad eyes take and own me
Words are unnecessary
Grip the back of your neck and slowly
Move 'til it all becomes alright
I wake up in a cold sweat got a bone to pick with reality
Take a deep breath and lay back down wearing my badge of infamy
Change the bulb in the nightlight cause it flickered flickered and died
Repeat the words you're not alone to self three times and hit the light
My aim is true, turn off the phone, let's sleep 'till two
Your sad eyes take and own me
Words are unnecessary
Grip the back of your neck and slowly
Move 'til it all becomes alright
Let the fighting words lie
Let the candlelight die
Let the sun come up
Blemishing mirror fright, gonna take a bit of a fall tonight
Dreamed that I was underneath a naked women saying something that I can't repeat
Awakened by the runway noise, suck it up kid, assume battle poise
It's a lonely time for yours truly I know
I don't need to stay awake
In my nightmare I feel so alive
In my dreamscape escapades
I make the grade I save the day
Pull here push me there a little lower little closer to the spot that's bare
That's the toy that fills my void it's apparent I've inherited a demon joy
It's a lonely time for yours truly I know
I don't need to stay awake
In my nightmare I feel so alive
In my dreamscape escapades
If you're doing it for yourself
And you don't care what they think
I can understand having a little fun
It really makes no difference to me
Now you're taking it too far
Why can't you see
That being strung out for two weeks just to
be with them
is being someone you never wanted to be
I don't care
that you turned your back on me
I do care that your turned your back on you
turned your back on me
Yeah you're doing it for yourself
And you don't care what they think
Cause you're searching for something
That you will never find
Something you'll never reach
Guess whose making it too far
Why can't you see
That being strung out for two weeks
Just to be with them is being
I turn away and shove my hands deep in my pockets
I see her face my body aches and I start rotting
I watch as he stares into eyes that gazed upon me
Time ticks by I feel like dying and then she calls me
[ Chorus ]
I think its great that we're so such good friends
I'm so glad that we're such good friends
Do you think of me when your being abused
Thank God I wasn't used.
Wait by the phone because she said that she would call me
I know she won't but I still hope it will start ringing
I'll try to find something to do to pass the time
I lock my door, pace back and forth my teeth are grinding
[ Repeat Chorus ]
When he makes you cry do you consider your best interests,
When he gets high you know your pain is self inflicted
I watch as he stares into eyes that gazed upon me
Time ticks my I feel like dying and then she calls me
I rode a western wind with a girl over to her mother's
In the backyard stars shone brighter than the others
That I rarely see through the smog through the haze that covers
The home that I used to live in
Well I kind of sort of knew what was going to happen
When she put her number down on a restaurant napkin
She said goodbye I think the words were when you're back in
Town let's have each other again I'll come around and see you again
Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for free
Animated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue me
In the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could see
That she'd come to rescue me
I tasted southern sin with a girl who was just perfection
Had a two room condo back in a wealthy section
Of the Florida flatlands where she had me kept in
A wicked trance for a day
Well I kind of sort of knew what was going to happen
When she and a friend came and met me in Atlanta
I professed my love in an animalistic manner
Like an endless foreign flick my subtitles were sick
Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for free
Animated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue me
In the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could see
That she'd come to rescue me
Well I kind of sort of saw the sirens coming
She was running toward me wearing almost nothing
And my heart beat skipped when she bent down at the hip
And her lips pressed against mine
Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for free
Animated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue me
In the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could see
That she'd come to rescue me
Here she comes to rescue me
I'm not gonna blink cause I wanna see
I wanna see her come
Sleeping through the evening singing dreams inside my head
I'm heading out I've got some ins who say they care and they just might
I run away with you if things don't go as planned
Planning big could be a gamble I've already rolled the dice
I spit and stutter stuff and clutter worries in my worried corner
Maladjusted just untrusted rusted sometimes brilliant busted thoughts
Think I'll stay for a while I'm intrigued and I'm red as a newborn white as a corpse
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind
Promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine
Promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye
Promise not to try not to let you down
I am elated I am all smiles and dated in my man bites dog town with a Spanish name
I am all bone I am two tone red as a newborn white as a corpse
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind
Promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine
Promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye
Promise not to try not to let you down
Why you gotta keep the fan on high when it's cold outside
Just want to let you know that I'm still a fan, get it?
Everybody wants charm and a smile and a promise
I promise not to try
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind
Promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine
Promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye
In the throws of young love Leroy
Didn't think to think and in the blink of an eye
Tied the knot not knowing how to not know
He was the prodigal son this girl had brought him home
He moved out of his step dad's apartment
He moved in with this cute Guatemalan
Things were copasetic 'til she caught him
Things were cool and collected 'til she found him erected with another
Shit went bad he's on the roof again
She flipped, he flipped the bird
And then he went to the roof where his threats ring loud and clear
Gonna jump gonna jump gonna die this year
Got screwed by the horse that he rode in on
Riding high on his whims had only gotten him down
He moved back to his step dad's apartment
Where he put himself back together 'til
She came back he's on the roof again
She flipped, he flipped the bird
And then he went to the roof where his threats ring loud and clear
Gonna jump gonna jump gonna die this year
Your heinous highness broke her hymen hey man try to quit your crying
I know she broke your heart but try to come try to come down
Shit went bad he's on the roof again
She flipped, he flipped the bird
And then he went to the roof where his threats ring loud and clear
Gonna get in the car with a smile and the burn that I put on my arm the day you
went away girl and I probably wont come back around agian.
Gonna drive all night through the red lights flying, over the hill to the
county line blind, forgetting to forget that you're not mine.
Kiss your Appocolyps for the last, last time runaway runaway runaway
I can't find anytime you think it changed your mind,
Anytime you want jump back too me anytime, jump back to me anytime,
jump back to me anytime, come back one more time anytime.
There's a place where I go to take the edge of the day, when the radios up your
face fades away, flicker flicker dim and fade to black.
With a back pack packed, and a mark on the map. Gonna drive too fast, Gonna not
look back, light the night with a blow torch and a match.
Got no time reason or rime, not gonna stop, gonna ride all night
(without you want)
It said "Fok Karina" on the wall we were leaning
I get a feeling and she starts to grin
Adjusted my pants as my face turns to red
Foresight is so often blind
Just take the 2 to the 134
But first take the elevator to my floor
It's good to be bad if it's better than bored
Foresight is so often blind
Slur to a favorite rhyme
Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night
Vodkareening through the hotel door
Guilty is really a choice and a chore
It's good to be bad if it's better than bored
Foresight is so often blind
Slur to a favorite rhyme and that's when
Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night
I took her hand and then an aspirin in the morning
I took her hand and took her home
It said "Fok Karina" on the wall we were leaning on
Afraid of a common phenomenon again
Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I took a ride to meet an enemy
October light shown bright through the windshield
Right into my eyes where I was silent riding shotgun
Chewing on some sugar free gum
Parallel park and pay the meter
If I die before I leave tell her I'll never leave her
I am fine just a little broken up
OK my nerves have never been so shot
Can't get this shit off my mind
I just want to be alright
So just tell me nothing's wrong
Then get undressed and spend the night
The autumn sun burning logic in my brain
I'm asking why there is pleasure when there's pain
I'm here to pay for my mistakes in a humiliating manner
If there is a next time I'll cover up
I feel alone I feel shaky and uncertain
A kind man shakes my hand and draws the curtain
In a word he saves my life and then I exit out the enter door and smile
Can't get this shit off my mind
I just want to be alright
So just tell me nothing's wrong
Then get undressed and spend the night
I took a ride to meet an enemy
I faced a fear of mine and shivered but didn't blink
I took a ride to meet an enemy to end all the madness
And now I know that I'll be fine
I am fine
Can't get this shit off my mind
I just want to be alright
So just tell me nothing's wrong
Then get undressed and spend the night
The underworld element beckoned in a dream to
Find a sidekick pronto I should
Think Thelma not Daria
So I search hard and near and far for
Someone the description called for
Thought seldom not Daria
Found her in a suburban wasteland
Swaddling clothed and caked in beach sand
At first sight thought that I might turn and
Run out of fear and intrigue
I stood numb kind of military
I'd found her I'd keep her
Safe and sound
Don't make a sound
Look up at the sky shit's going down
I heard a bang and stars collided
Her skin drew me in just like a magnet
Little girl my little world is yours
I took a one way highway headed West heaven bound
Never even thought once to turn round
Real life plays tricks on the brain
Pointed fingers were left in the dust and The ones who doubted rusted
We're out of here like Vladimir
Now I'm looking at a picture where I'm right beside you
Eyes shine with a light that binds you
To this fool with Super Glue
From all the way across the nation
You came with just your name and
Your suitcase I'll keep you
Safe and sound
Don't make a sound
Look up at the sky shit's going down
I heard a bang and stars collided
Her skin drew me in just like a magnet
Little girl my little world is yours
Big bang little girl run away with me
And be my Thelma & Louise
Brush that sand off your ask
Amphetamines and jellybeans
She was pretty in her teens
Waiting for the month of come what May
I smelled you on my shirt today
Of course the hardest part is letting go
But you've got to or you know
You'll end up waiting by the
Phone me once in a while
Let me know you're alright
Tell you again that I'm fine
Then we go about our separate lives
Was it nasty scheme or lazy dreams
I left you cold two blankets deep
This is the last song I'll send your way
I smelled you on my shirt today
Of course the hardest part is letting go
But you've got to or you know
You'll end up waiting by the
Phone me once in a while
Let me know you're alright
Tell you again that I'm fine
Then we go about our separate lives
Phone me tell me that you're waiting
By the phone for me to phone you
Once in a while
Then we go about our separate lives
Phone me once in a while
Let me know you're alright
Tell you again that I'm fine
So denied so I lied are you the now or never kind
In a day and a day love I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had are you cool with just tonight
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Put your name on the line along with place and time
Wanna stay not to go I wanna ditch the logical
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
We're slaves to saving time, as if we didn't have enough
We're slaves to the hormone, we're men and must be tough
We're slaves to the dollar, and the happiness that it brings
tradition rules from the start generations running round in rings
I want out I want to escape the human role
They teach us we're fulfilled, when we've done what we're told
Now I feel an emptiness whenever I act out on my own
Now i'm going to break these binds, and get my life back on track
You relieve me
You give me
Then you take it
away from my
memory.......
How much more
empty can I feel
Then this feel-
ing of false hap-
piness, so real
You make me
laugh at
My own
stupidity
And when
you're with me
My world's seen
differently
Restore energy
when strength
is gone
And numb me
up when the
pain's too
strong
Stress of life it
last too long
you remove my
strains
And reality
Drag this neurotic to hysterics. Leave him balked
and unfulfilled holding inside outwardly patient
'till the time he'll call it. Alluring exotic
twisted hero leaving him more lonely.
Still he waits around he's spun around and
left without the power to stop it. Peers don't
know what they can't see. They can't see inside
of me. It's sickening how comforting the privacy
of the mind can be. How much longer will I try
before I realize I'm desperate in the situation
that I'm in again I'm exhausting yet another topic
I've exhausted frequently with no regrets. Abstruse
and lacking rational but making so much sense somehow
a stone has blocked my hourglass no progress made no
time's run out I'd almost rather have the latter
Save myself with sad defeat A stone just broke my
Well I'm lying in bed sweating staring at the ceiling, in my brain I have painted a beautiful picture of you, I'm not even going to try to fall asleep tonight, I don't want to lost the picture in my mind, in my mind.
Then I close my eyes and quickly drift away
magically transported to another time and place
hold away
magically transported to another time and place
hold you in my arms and we go whirling through the air
going all four directions, heading straight for nowhere
I wake up in cold sweat come to grips with reality
take a deep breath lay back down wearing my badge of infamy
when the bulb in my nightlight flickers, flickers, flickers and dies, I'm left alone, staring at my ceiling once again
Yeah, yeah
Your eyes shine bright like a Jesus nitelite
I'd like to touch your positive vibes
Indifferent eyes won't give me the time
May I help put aside your moral fiber?
You're dressed in white my face is white
I'd like to be a colorful sight to see
I'm only here in background here on the ground lies my head
I sleep and then I wake make sounds and go to bed and wake again
The time is right but I feel all wrong
It wastes away until it's gone
The time is right but I feel all wrong
It fades away and now you're gone
Yeah my time is right but still I feel all wrong
It wastes away and now you're gone
You're walking by, I'm standing by
Behind the light I'm standing by
By and by
The time is right but I feel all wrong
It wastes away until it's gone
The time is right but I feel all wrong
It fades away and now you're gone
Yeah my time is right but still I feel all wrong
It wastes away until it's gone and now it's gone
And here we go
Yeah yeah yeah, oh oh oh oh
I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet, chalk white and oh so frail
I see our time has gotten stale
The tick tock of the clock is painful
In all sane and logical, I want to tear it off the wall
I hear words and clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale
I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
So cal is where my mind states
But it's not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly, sad as you
Or am I origami, fold up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head
I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
Rendezvous
I alone am the one you don't know
You need take heed, feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close
Sink when you get close, tie me to the bedpost
I alone am the one you don't know
You need, you don't know you need me
Make me blind when your eyes close
Tie me to the bed post
I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through, yes I'm through with you
And I'm through with you
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
Your mother saved your medals
She put them in a box in a room
Basket bass and footballs
Plastic creatures from the county zoo
She thinks about you often
She has no idea you're rotten
All the colours have run off and you have been exposed
Now let me do the talking
(Chorus)
With a hymn and a secret
Hid beneath a broken heart
Can you start to pick up the pieces?
A hymn and a secret
Love beneath the bleacher when
Bound for the head
Pick up the pieces
Blessed by your genetics
You possess a certain aesthetic charm
Something's disconnected
And your quite capable of causing harm
Your malice is volcanic
Your insecurity titanic
Your mood is always manic and I do suppose
This masquerade's become a habit
Tell those stories to me I'm dying to hear the things you've done and seen
Farfetched as they may be
You strike a smile in me
Your stories ring of perjury
Construed with self empowering theme
Suckin' on my brain your the teacher I'm the student
Turning things around your story's not congruent
Tabloid decoys pitiful excuses
Turning things around You're turning things around
A manic stunning scene I'm taking notes your taking me away into your false reality
I know you comfort lies in lying to try to make your life make sense
But you're not making sense I'd say it aloud but I'm not aloud I see your head spin round and round
Broken record talk tonight skip that needle back and forth on your mind wearing out unconvincing lies
Like a seedling dropped from an old oak tree your shade don't hide no sun from me
I quit lookin at the clock,
it will only bring me down and it wont bring you here.
If I pulled out all the stops and a little less of my hair,
could I bring you here is my favorite white bic light,
it can undarken the night and keep it with you close
as I wave your eastbound plane away
Too scared to pray my eyes are too dilated to see without you here I feel my fear
without you here I feel my fear
I don’t wanna rock, I wanna roll on top,
of you and not let go with me to second street and A, 'cause we'd tear up the place
I miss your pretty face
Too scared to pray my eyes are too dilated to see without you here I feel my fear
There's a face I know too well I see it every time I look in the mirror
No I don't kiss and tell I'll tell you after I betrayed you
Supersonic boy sweating sin
The pillar that I'm melting on will prove you wrong
Keep your lips sealed this just in
You're speeding up the ticker of a walking time bomb
Time's up stand up face the Muzac Smile wide step outside
Click your sticks and cast spell that'll suck my saliva like water from a well
I try to do what's right what's right ain't right enough for you tonight
I see you're displeased a middle finger response
I'll try to appease
I'm sorry don't be mad but ask me what
I'm sorry for and I won't have an answer
Look me in the eye and let 'em flow again
Well here is me on tragedy, I always want what's out of reach
But she pulls dyed black hair back and sighs
Fuck that night out with the guys
I never get a word in with them anyway
The telephone, it doesn't scare me anymore
You're home and I am here alone my dear
Always stupidly sacarstic my hyper spastic
Superhero girl, superhero girl
So break the bruised monogamy
And let him fade to memory
In your erotic wet atomic eyes keep reoccurring in my mind
Do me a favor please and touch your lips to mine
The telephone, it doesn't scare me anymore
You're home and I am here alone my dear
Always stupidly sacarstic my hyper spastic
Superhero girl, superhero girl, a superhero girl
A superhero girl, girl girl
But she pulls dyed black hair back and sighs
Fuck that night out with the guys
I never get a word in with them anyway
Telephone doesn't scare me anymore
You're home and I am here alone my dear
Always stupidly sacarstic my hyper spastic
You know the telephone, doesn't scare me anymore
You're home and I am here alone my dear
Always stupidly sacarstic my hyper spastic
1RST VERSE
She's doing body shots off italian guys in Mexico,
I'm all alone,
She's dancing with a vampire to bilingual disco,
I'm all alone,
Cause she went to La Playa for the fire show,
If I could be a fly upon the wall I would know,
I don't mean to be possessive,
But baby please, I'm getting desperate,
CHORUS
No, I don't believe you went to bed at 10:15,
Victoria, you're tearin' me up,
You said you'd call, I waited up,
I don't know why I even try, I need another tequila,
2ND VERSE
She goes out, lets her hair down, bumps up
I'm all alone
She's groovin' to a Coldplay dance mix turned up,
I'm all alone
Cause she went to La Playa for the fire show,
Am I in denial, is she dancing alone,
You don't like my attitude, well,
I don't like your latitude,
CHORUS
No, I don't believe you went to bed at 10:15,
Victoria, you're tearin' me up,
You said you'd call, I waited up,
I don't know why I even try, I need another tequila,
Another tequila,
HOOK
I hope los gran mosquitos gets ya,
And your sun is stormy weather,
I wish I never met you,
CHORUS
No, I don't believe you went to bed at 10:15,
Victoria, you're tearin' me up,
You said you'd call, I waited up,
I gotta, gotta say no, I don't believe you went to bed at 10:15,
Victoria, you're tearin' me up,
You said you'd call, I waited up,
I got the 944
I got the 3-day stubble
I got my foot to the floor, to the floor
I got the -- smile
Been flashing it for awhile
My jaw's starting to get tired, to get tired
It's nothing personal, dog
But if you're out for a jog
You'd best look out for the plates
That say God
(Chorus)
I'm the type of guy that can't throw very far but
You can trust me
You can trust me
I'm the type of guy that likes to shoot for the stars
And baby
If you love me
Then you'll trust me
I got the friends in Dubai
I got the place in Hawaii
I got the decadent style
It's the style
An expensive cigarette
A twenty year old brunette
A dog you'd better not pet
Yeah you bet
My life is pretty extreme
It's not easy as it seems
Just walk a day in my shoes
In your dreams
(Chorus)
You won't believe my flat
You can quote me on that
I got an elevator and an endangered cat
We'll do a couple of lines
You'll have a splendid time
One thousand faces all look the same
They're all so boring mild and tame
Contaminate him knock off his glasses
Teach him to tamper with the cloning
process Pardon me sir can I ask you a
favor Make me a cowboy like my next
door neighbor Pardon me sir can I use
your eraser To remove my brain of
unconventional nature Take my tongue
It's cocked and loaded The board has
dubbed you special student Sit alone sweat
in silence We don't tolerate defiance One
thousand paces lead to the gate They're
all so boring mild sedate You hear me
say this don't make any sense As I hop
up and over the fence Hooked on nico-
tine and phonics Fun like macro eco-
nomics Still and quiet like they taught us
Fun like macro economics Vigilante
thoughts and a cheap guitar I am my own
movie star I don't know you I don't want
When all is said and done
And dead does he love you
The way that I do
Breathing in lightning
Tonight's for fighting
I feel the hurt so physical
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more
She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
Wait till the day you finally see
I've been here waiting patiently
Crossing my fingers and my t's
She cried on my shoulder begging please
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more
She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
What is it you really want
I'm tired of asking
You're gone I'm wasted
When I showed up and he was there
I tried my best to grin and bear
And took the stairs but didn't stop at the street
And as we speak I'm going down
Cause she spread her love
And burnt me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Sunset Strip bitch
He reads women's magazines, swears the truth doesn't phase him
He knows the hottest bras for fall and how to make her fall in love
In four or five days or less, guess it depends on the stars
And how well he has memorized his dating dos and don'ts he says
I'm ready to go
Gonna see my name underneath the stars when I walk the Boulevard
The horoscope today said things would go my way
Sunset Strip bitch
He wines and dines and takes his time between regurgitating lines
Voted most likely to work in the rag he stole from work
Tres Flores in his hair, Old Spice lingers in the air
Gives an extra squirt of shine for sheen and smiles as he says
I'm ready to go
Gonna see my name underneath the stars when I walk the Boulevard
The horoscope today said things would go my way
Sunset Strip bitch
He knows his friends think that he's lame when he tells them he's got game
Shops around for shiny clothes, strikes a super player pose
He reads women's magazines, he slaves to make the scene
Gets the wax ripped off his back, he screams and smiles and he says
I'm ready to go
Gonna see my name underneath the stars when I walk the Boulevard
This outfit set me back two paychecks and a Cadillac
Lay off the coffee, and the Kafka and the coughing.
Lay off the means to the ends and mean what you say more often.
Lay off the, laying off the smiling, the trying.
Lay in me, lay on me, lay on me
It's another day the way things go it's gonna go around again I know it.
I'm still here waiting for you
Lay off the moaning and the groaning and the stonings,
Lay off the coins and all the condescending tonings.
Lay off the,
Laying off street glib,
Got a suit and a tie and a record with winners, promise...
Suffocate from lack of stimulation Television
time Gonna break with every bead of sweat My
heart rate seems to climb My friend and I stick to
the tired couches Please pass the time I found a
dime under the corner cushion Wishing it was
some place else and so do I Small town trap with
dreams of breaking out Satan's in the living room
choking me with apathy Small town trap with
dreams of breaking out Inspire me cause if you
don't I think I'll dissipate to dust the Liar in me
says something's gonna happen soon because it
must My friend and I stick to the tired couches
Please pass the time I found a dime under the cor-
ner cushion Wishing it was someplace else and
so do I Community immunity is the shot I crave
A sleepless sleep slow motion dream wanna dig
my grave Time ticks away on the longest day
I was named for a saint, 1978
It seems a little bit ironic
But I don't think too much on it
'Cause I'm busy making pay
Twenty-four in a day
And if you fall into temptation
There could be a bad vibration
But I've been thinking 'bout you since the first time that I saw you
Think it's safe to say that I've been obsessed
Trying to figure out a way to tell you what I'm feeling
But I just can't get the words off my chest
We got a situation infatuation
We haven't even had a conversation
And I'm lying awake and picturing you naked
I already feel I owe an explanation
It's getting pathological
I'm totally irrational
We got a situation infatuation
Got a situation infatuation
I call an apartment a home
I've never broken a bone
I spent the last couple of weeks
Just sitting, staring at the phone
And as a rule, if you will
I think I'm pretty chill
Yeah, this behaviour's an exception
And I know it needs correction
But I've been thinking 'bout you since the first time that I saw you
Think it's safe to say that I've been obsessed
Trying to figure out a way to tell you what I'm feeling
But I just can't get the words off my chest
We got a situation infatuation
We haven't even had a conversation
And I'm lying awake and picturing you naked
I already feel I owe an explanation
It's getting pathological
I'm totally irrational
We got a situation infatuation
Got a situation infatuation
I'm standing at attention
Thinking things I can't mention
Can you see my intention?
Involuntary action
Object of my destruction
It's a natural reaction
We have a situation infatuation
We haven't even had a conversation
And I'm lying awake and picturing you naked
I already feel I owe an explanation
It's getting pathological
I'm totally irrational
We got a situation infatuation
Got a situation infatuation
I'm standing at attention
Thinking things I can't mention
Can you see my intention?
Cheap shot hocked straight to the ear drum Is it
some sick sign of affection Violated and singed
with deceit Disgust from my head to my hands
to my feet Your face it gives foul taste
Whether smiling crying or denying I see your
motives and you're charged with fraud by me So
take the hint and leave I loved you while he was
in you in the shower Did (in joy and ecstasy)
your eyes begin to water And if I may stop by
when you're living in the next town ten years
down the road A good time for a dime and a
crushed cigarette making bets with your body on
the avenue Look into my eyes you say and you'll
see nothing but sincerity Almost as if you've got
some hope that you'll enlighten me You're a head
Saturday night burns a redness on my face I tasted you
you tasted my you were never my taste Now you're left
alone with precious thoughts Of half asses half an hour
stops And talk so small I can't remember ever saying a
word Laced with thick naivete Firm delusions can't be
swayed Tell yourself you're happy We both know the
truth It's false behind the dirty talk the dirty sheets the
sexy walk your eyes are closed your heart is open wide
and that's no good There is something up my sleeve
There is nothing in-between You and me that you can't
see So beg my pardon Honesty's a virtue that can hurt
you let it be The thought that counts is counting down
the minutes 'till I leave and when I do you'll be looking
for security in words Though you know that you won't
get it for the better for the worse I apologize for me
Then I'm back in a couple of weeks I'm too weak to help it
I passed by some familiar
faces,
But they flipped me off &
cursed my name,
I watched the hippies raise
their signs
and I saved my tears for
another time
I just wish that they could
understand
that I had no choice whether
or not
to put a gun in my hand
I just wish that they could
understand
I don't give a shit about being
Tonight, I feel ambitious and so does my foot
As it sinks on the pedal, I press it to the floor
I don't need a girl, don't need a friend 'cause
My friend 'Lonesome's' unconditional, we're flying forever bored
For a moment I love everything that I see and think and feel
I love my broken side view mirror
'Cause it's so perfect, I'm so perfect, you're so perfect, you're not here
I hear the change in gears
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road
This is an open road song
The night is beckoning
Although I have nowhere to go but home, feels good to be alone
With every turn comes a new frame of mind
If I could frame my mind, where would it hang?
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road
This is an open road song
I crack a window and feel the cool air cleanse my every pore
As I pour my poor heart out to a radio song
That's patient and willing to listen
My volume drowns it out
Ya, but that's okay 'cause I sound better than him anyway, any day
Ya, my voice is sweet as salt
I search for comfort and I find it where I found it many times before
Times before it could be forgotten, yeah
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road
Saw her standing in the street in a hat made out of skin
Underneath a stormy sky like a Heroine,
Over me came the feeling that i'd never win
She's owning me like a dog to a God
I'm not gonna let you go this time,
Not gonna be alone tonight,
You can try to break me down or start a fight but I'm not
gonna let you win I'm more than glad to take one on the chin, babe,
As long as I've got you attention,
Save me
Stop sneaking pain to the cranium,
Blame me, Let me out from underneath your thumb
My senses are six and they need their fix from you
Underneath a stormy sky I'm
Holding you,
Over me comes the feeling you could come around
Baby, give me a chance and your hand and remove that crown.
I turn away and shove my hands deep in my pockets
I see her face my body aches and I start rotting
I watch as he stares into eyes that gazed upon me
Time ticks by I feel like dying and then she calls me
I think its great that we're so such good friends
I'm so glad that we're such good friends
Do you think of me when your being abused
Thank God I wasn't used.
Wait by the phone because she said that she would call me
I know she won't but I still hope it will start ringing
I'll try to find something to do to pass the time
I lock my door, pace back and forth my teeth are grinding
When he makes you cry do you consider your best interests,
When he gets high you know your pain is self inflicted
I watch as he stares into eyes that gazed upon me
She said look at the moon, it's like a fingernail clipping
The sliver of light in the cold black sky
I gave her my coat, held her close and she cried
As the sun came up over the jagged sky line, the silence amplified our
Beating hearts
And I didn't answer when she asked why
Chorus:
One life to live and many paths to take
One twists and turns and falls away
And flowers bloom in brilliant light and fade into the night
So much to lose or so it seems, these idol games and children's dreams
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind I just keep moving on
Into the unknown
And I am walking alone by the St. Augustine bell thinking about you since
You went away
We used to sit here and watch as the shadows played
And if I try real hard, I can remember that sound ringing out just like a
Echoing off of the wall of the dark arcade
Chorus
You know being alone feels like I'm holding my breath
I try to be cool, I try to push it down
I walk like I know
And the city's freaks are the face of a beast
It's always dark but he never sleeps
I crawl with the silence backed up by freaks come on
I'm getting on
Heaven can you hear me I am calling from a land line
I need a good connection I feel like I'm losing my mind
The day is just about to break I think it's safe to say, so am I
Can you bring my legs to walk even though they're shaking
Will you get my head to stop all the plans it's making
The clouds are just about to burst I think it's safe to say, so am I
Open the floodgates now, let the water come down
The monster in the closet, when the lights turned on
Is just a jacket on a hanger and the fear is gone
And the world keeps turning, sun keeps burning
We are the lost and found, gonna make it through another day
Can you train my mouth to shut when I feel like talking
Get my ears to open up and let a little love in
Lately I'm a ticking bomb and so are you and we are here together
Can you set my heart to beat no matter what I'm feeling
Will you take the wheel and drive, for miles I've been dealing
The day is just about to break I think it's safe to say, so am I
Open the floodgates now, let the water come down
The monster in the closet, when the lights turned on
Is just a jacket on a hanger and the fear is gone
And the world keeps turning, sun keeps burning
We are the lost and found, gonna make it through another day
High IQ, loaded dad
Private schools, brand new Jag
The future is so bright, you're wearing shades inside
You feel lost, don't know why
Hallmark ads make you cry
All these expectations crowd your mind at night
Now you're looking to the world to save you
Feel internally unique
Brother, I hardly blame you
For falling asleep
(Chorus)
Tear up your certificates
And throw them to the sea
Let's reclaim our innocence
And live in harmony
We can leave the past behind
And make a brand new start
Walk out of this lion's den
Before we're torn apart
Pretty face, long brown hair
Slender waist, how they stare
A ring around your finger
And a pain inside
You feel lost, don't know where
He goes at night, but he's not there
You stay up and remind yourself that life's not fair
'Cause you thought he was the one to save you
But he's really nothing like your dad
Sister, I can hardly blame you
For feeling mad
(Chorus)
The sun goes down around us
We smile at naught, but we walk alone
We lie here waiting for the ancient fear
To loosen it's hold
(Chorus)
Before we're torn apart
You're the one stepping on the back of my shoes
You're the one using me as a muse
You're the one with the jet pack strapped to your back ready to go
It's you and her and nobody else the lights are low and she's so ready
You're already on your way to the door
You're at the bar the tender gives you a free drink and winks, she's perfect
You sweat bullets, spill the drink and you leave
Everyone leaves the party except a gorgeous twenty something, you turn and run
You call me up
You're the one stepping on the back of my shoes
You're the one using me as a muse
You're the one with the jet pack strapped to your back ready to go
So the way you act, is it just an act or some strange courtship ritual
A habitual nervous reaction
Hey it's just me, set yourself free, why don't you let me know what's going on
Inside your cluttered head
You're the one stepping on the back of my shoes
You're the one using me as a muse
You're the one with the jet pack strapped to your back ready to go
What the hell are you talking about is that what you would say
If I were to wonder out loud would it make you turn away
Just a curious question
If it was you and me and nobody else would you want me to want to be ready to go
Would you want to take the lights down low
You're the one stepping on the back of my shoes
You're the one using me as a muse
You're the one with the jet pack strapped to your back ready to go
Hey it's just me, set yourself free, why don't you let me know what's going on
I love myself I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me
I forget myself I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ooh I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You're the one who makes me come running
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing
I want to make you mine
I close my eyes And see you before me
Think I would die If you were to ignore me
A fool could see Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees I do anything for you
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ooh I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I want you I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you I touch myself
Ooh, ooh, oo, oo ahh
I don't want anybody else When I think about you
I touch myself Ooh I don't want anybody else
Turn turn the radio low, I've got to talk to you,
Turn turn the radio low...
Got a half Armenian girlfriend
She tests me like a scantron
She'll only tell me what's wrong
If she's hit the bong ba bong bong
Feeling melodramatic and spastic
She ain't made of West Coast plastic,
I lie awake with an aching,
Is it all in my head like she said
I'm in love with the sounds
that you make and the ground that you walk on
I'm running after you, I'm in love with the way
that you're making me wait
I just want to be catching up to you
Got a half Armenian girlfriend
She's hotter than I am handsom,
She'll fuck you up and then some,
Hey montana take your daughter back,
From the bathrooms of Angeles Vall.
She believes in destiny
Her names always misspelled
Waitressing to pay the rent
Drinks to quell the smell
Of people breathing way too close,
Folks who don't mean well
No one sees the color of your eyes
No one sees your smile
No one knows the secrets that you hide
No one sees you cry
She parks her car two blocks away, from apartment 15A
She walks with somber in her step and scores along the way
Blue's your hue you tiny thing Dropping patrons wine
Singing to you own sad song
Two feet stuck in the mire
Hey montana take your daughter back
It's clear she needs your care
These bustling
Streets are icy veins of a beast who snuffs her prayer
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack there of would
Leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet
Sharp wire and oh so frail
I see our time has gotten stale
The tick tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I wanna tear it off the wall
I hear the words in clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack there of would
Leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
Zocal is where my mind stays
But it's not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly sad as you
Or am I origami?
Fold it up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack there of would
Leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
Make me blind when you get close
Tie me to the bed post
Make me blind when you get close
Tie me to the bed post
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack there of would
Leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
(Now, I'm through)
(Through with you)
Theres a plastic dwarf warlord in the cereal box and
Hes licking off the sugar off the breakfast if chumps
Promise that forever we will never get better at growing up and learning to lie
There is no floor 13 theres not even a second story
You got one to tell and its sad as hell
Promise that forever we will never get better at growing up and learning to lie
Prep school kid with wall street glib
Got a suit and a tie and a record with winners
Promise that forever we will never get better at growing up and learning to lie
Im on my way back home now
Good lives are gold, like the oldest story
Will mine be told while im still young and horney
I know my role is to be a confusion
Set the clock back when Im growing old
This kid came over and I let him crash
But he went into my wallet and he grabbed my cash
Promise that forever we will never get better at growing up and learning to lie
And a good girlfriend she turned me in
I was lying with my eyes about adultery sin
Promise that forever we will never get better at growing up and learning to lie
Im on my way back home now
Good lives are gold, like the oldest story
Will mine be told while im still young and horney
I know my role is to be all confusion
Set the clock back we're not growing old
Never wanted to be like you or all the rest
Ive always been the first one to settle for second best
I never wanted to be I never wanted to be I never wanted to be
Like you
Good lives are gold, like the oldest story
Will mine be told while im still young and horney
I know my role is to be a confusion
Set the clock back when Im growing old
Your really gone, girlfriend
The dryer's on, Amen
And im alone for the first time
(I walk away now
You left a sock, girlfriend
Wheres the pair broken
Are you aware that im missing you
(I walk away now
but I cant run to you no more
to catch me when im falling
I know I have to let you go
But I will not be broken
No I will not be broken
But keep the slow fading memories
This place is strange, empty
You did your time, plenty
And the walls are bare where your pictures hung
But I cant call you up no more
And no we cant just be friends
but now its time to let you go
but I will not be broken
no I will not be broken
and keep the slowly fading
memories memories
I'm keeping these memories
I cant run to you no more
to catch me when im fallin
I know I have to let you go
But I will not be broken
For ever tear a lesson learned
Every good time golden
But now its time to let you go
And I will not be broken
And I will not be broken
No I will not be broken
Are you feelin that you're on the brink
Of spilling some red in the sink
It wasn’t the easiest year
No I don’t want you to go
Are the memories too hard to take
Rape is a word with a face
No I don’t want you to go
You know I don’t want you to go
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me here
All alone in the world with a chronic tear
I will always be here, I will always be here
I will always be here for you
We walked the promenade in the rain
With velcro shoes and an ice cream stain
You’re the only one who understands
Remember the Blake said to make sure you wake
And help save your generation
No I don’t want you to go
You know we don’t want you to go
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me here
All alone in the world with a chronic tear
I will always be here, I will always be here
I will always be here for you
Don’t look back
The past is just that
We are We are We are We are
Awake
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me
I will always be here
I will always be here
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me here
All alone in the world with a chronic tear
I will always be here, I will always be here
Sitting up once again...In my bedroom
Shaking hand holds ugly head...In my bedroom
Wish I may wish I might...In my bedroom
Have this wish I wish tonight...In my bedroom
At night when you turn out the light, think of me, smile and feel all right
And when you lay your head down to sleep, may I be the one who fills your dreams...
Are you lying wide awake?...In your bedroom
Are you trying to fall asleep?...In your bedroom
Cuz your not thinking about me...In your bedroom
If you were you'd wish those thoughts would leave you...In your bedroom
At night when you turn out the light, you wonder what it was you thought you liked.
And you ask yourself what did you see, In an idle hollow fool like me
Push it push it down
Push it push it down
I know a girl she's from the plains of South Dakota
Drives around inside a home that has a motor
Her mama told her not to so she crossed the border
Her hair was long, she dyed it black and cut it shorter
I heard she fed a cocker-spaniel to a cobra
And I don't know if I believe it but I'm gonna
Step inside her magic ride
And roll the fuzzy dice
(Chorus)
She's everything, everything
She's pulling on my heart strings
She's shattering illusions into dust
She's every smile, every tear
She's filling the atmosphere
She says this thing can go the speed of sound
Push the pillow down
Push it push it down
Yeah me and her we're gonna blaze the trail of glory
See every seven wonder before the age of forty
And when the sun goes down we'll take our milk and honey
Live off the land like
We get it get it off the grid and burn the money
Never give our legal names to anybody
When I'm inside
Her mystery ride
I can't believe my mind
(Chorus)
A hula girl on the dash
Dances when we go too fast
We don't mind the traffic man
We just crank up Steely Dan
Flying down the 405
What the hell, we're still alive
Coffee in a plastic cup
Wake up
We're pulling up
When I'm inside
Her magic ride
I lose all track of time
(Chorus)
Push it push it down
You, the rock in my shoe, the thorn in my side
The bear in the room, the fly in the wine
The things that you do, the lessons you take
When you're talking to me
You're always talking to me
And I'm pretending I'm listening
But I'm bristling inside
They got the caller I'd
'Cause the thought of you makes me want to run and hide
Where did we go wrong?
(Chorus)
We used to go bowling
We used to light fireworks in the pouring rain
We were tight, thick as thieves
Blood brothers cut from the same cloth indeed
But now we whine
Split hairs and roll our eyes
We used to go bowling
Wait, I just need a break
A second to breathe
And wipe off the slate
I'm down on my knees
Praying for you to change
It doesn't seem to work
I'm wracking my brain
When you're talking to me
I'm pretending I'm listening
But I'm bristling inside
They got the caller I'd
'Cause the thought of you makes me want to run and hide
Where did we go wrong?
(Chorus)
You make new friends, but keep the old
One is silver but the other's gold
Where did we go wrong?
(Chorus)
You make new friends, but keep the old
One is silver but the other's gold
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothing
Wanna put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous, then I'm through with you
I've burn, burn like a wicker cabinet
Chalk white and, oh, so frail
I see our time has gotten stale
The tick-tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I want to tear it off the wall
I hear words and clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothing
Wanna put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous, then I'm through with you
So callous where my mind states
But it's not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly sad as you or am I origami
Fold it up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothing
Wanna put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous, then I'm through with you
But I alone am the one you don't know
You need to keep for your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close
Sink when you get close
Tie me to the bed post
I alone am the one you don't know
Girl you think you're right all the time
No matter how despicable the crime
You're a walking talking b.o.m.b
I guess you just weren't made for monogamy
When your lips move you're lying
You talk all the time
The queen of the soap op
Rocking the soap box
A mouth full of wine
A scratch on the spine
She's my best friend's girlfriend but he's not her only one
She says c'est la vie
Not sure what that means
I can't believe she's
My best friend's girl
She says c'est la vie
I keep him happy
And what's it to ya I'm your best friend's girl
I wish I did not mean to be mean
But when I dance in this direction I feel light on my feet
If I'm an asshole that's cool as long as you know it
I'm the happiest prick this side of Detroit
When your lips move you're lying
You talk all the time
The queen of the soap op
Rocking the soap box
A mouth full of wine
A scratch on the spine
She's my best friend's girlfriend but he's not her only one
She says c'est la vie
Not sure what that means
I can't believe she's
My best friend's girl
She says c'est la vie
I keep him happy
And what's it to ya I'm your best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girlfriend
The night's young she's doing what she does best
Sweating in the back of a Cutlass
Here she comes, here she comes, baby here she comes
Put your back in baby put your back in
Put your back in baby put your back in to it
Put your back in baby put your back in
Put your back in get it on
She says c'est la vie
Not sure what that means
I can't believe she's
My best friend's girl
She says c'est la vie
I keep him happy
And what's it to ya I'm your best friend's girl
(Best friend's girl)
With your hips and your painted lips
You got the boys on the avenue craning their necks and when you
Come to see him he's a nervous wreck
No you don't need a service job to bring in the tips
When do we get to the part where I can go home,
been hiding inside the jungle gym for way too long
waitin' for someone to come along and find me
live in an apartment that bums me out
it don’t get better when the lights go out
waitin' for someone to come along and find me
swimmin through the isle at the grocery store
I don’t even know what im lookin for
waitin' for someone to come along and find me
at least im breathin
at least im alive
as long as im dreamin
everythings gonna be alright
to the corner to call collect
your mother wants to know are you happy yet
waitin' for someone to come along and find you
goin out at night lookin for distractions
sleepin through the day theres no redemption
waitin' for someone to come along and find you
at least you're breathin
at least you're alive
as long as you're dreamin
everythings gonna be alright
im alright, I tell myself twice
in the mirror before I cant go to sleep at night
I need a lullaby I need some time
I need to get a dime bag from my guy
at least we're breathin
at least we're alive
as long as we're dreamin
everythings gonna be alright
im alright, I tell myself twice
in the mirror before I cant go to sleep at night
I need a lullaby I need some time
Wanna keep you from breakin
wanna keep you from shakin
wanna keep you from keepin
you down
Wanna keep you from sinkin
wanna keep you from drinkin
sometimes
Wanna keep you from keepin
you down
Ringing in my head
All the things you've said
All the things you've done
I wish I could compromise
but theres only one way to go
and im goin alone
Im goin alone
your self-help book shelf is full now
your pictures are about to be pulled down
without regard for a broken heart
its another year
ringing in my head
all the things you've said
all the things you've done
i wish i could compromise
but theres only one way to go
Wanna be with you tonight
Wanna be with you tonight
No i know it isnt right
wanna be with you tonight
cuz i love the way that you shock-shock-shock me
follow me to my house and then you rock-rock-rock me
wanna see your eyes wide not so shut
the queen be cool dont stop keep up
livin the city can be dyin' if you dont
got a grip take a sip from my molotov mug
wanna keep you from keepin you down
pick yourself up off the ground
wanna keep you from keepin you down
come on girl
ringing in my head
all the things you've said
all the things you've done
I wish i could compromise
I wish i could close my eyes
and somehow make it
all alright
but i know thers only one way to go
Miss the way that you shock-shock-shock me
follow me to my house and then you rock-rock-rock me
wanna see your eyes wide not so shut
completely cool dont stop keep up
livin in the city, cuz your dyin if you dont
got a grip take a sip from my molotov mug
wanna keep you from keepin you down
From a distant start to this here bar
The me, the you, where are we now
Horray the blues of everyone
Allison
Keeps a smile around a while
He took no fright and jettisoned
We'll go tonight to hear him tell
Oh, well
Al-li-son
Al-li-son
And when the planet hit the sun
I saw the face of Allison
Al-li-son
Al-li-son
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn.
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again -
Oh Babe, I hate to go.
There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times I've played around,
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you,
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.
Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time let me kiss you,
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come.
When I won't have to leave alone,
We're slaves to saving time, as if we didn't have enough
We're slaves to the hormone, we're men, we must be tough
We're slaves to the dollar, and the happiness that it brings
Tradition rules from the start generations running round in rings
I want out I want to escape the human role
I want to be myself, I want to melt down the mold, melt down this mold
They teach us we're fulfilled, when we've done what we're told
Now I feel an emptiness whenever I act out on my own
Want to break these chains that bind, I want to pave my own path
Want to leave the expectations of others behind, and fulfill my life with what you call crap
I want out I want to escape the human role
I want to be myself, I want to melt down the mold
I want out I want to escape the human role
You're the one stepping on the back of my shoes
You're the one using me as a muse
You're the one with the jet pack strapped to your back ready to go
It's you and her and nobody else the lights are low and she's so ready
You're already on your way to the door
You're at the bar the tender gives you a free drink and winks, she's perfect
You sweat bullets, spill the drink and you leave
Everyone leaves the party except a gorgeous twenty something, you turn and run
You call me up
You're the one stepping on the back of my shoes
You're the one using me as a muse
You're the one with the jet pack strapped to your back ready to go
So the way you act, is it just an act or some strange courtship ritual
A habitual nervous reaction
Hey it's just me, set yourself free, why don't you let me know what's going on
Inside your cluttered head
You're the one stepping on the back of my shoes
You're the one using me as a muse
You're the one with the jet pack strapped to your back ready to go
What the hell are you talking about is that what you would say
If I were to wonder out loud would it make you turn away
Just a curious question to think about
If it was you and me and nobody else would you want me to want to be ready to go
Would you want to take the lights down low
You're the one stepping on the back of my shoes
You're the one using me as a muse
You're the one with the jet pack strapped to your back ready to go
Hey it's just me, set yourself free, why don't you let me know what's going on
In the dark of the night
By the sapphire
I gave a nod to a girl
And she looked like she was looking at a spectre
And she kind of smiled and turned
I knew the back of your hand like the back of my hand
We used to go like red and black
And it's so strange to feel this distance where there was once... love
I'm alive like the sound of the wrecking crew
I'm alone with the lights of the avenue
I don't know if I know where I'm going to
Tomorrow's a new day
That's such a cliché
There's a kid, bangs a drum, on the corner
And I'm walking to the time
This persistent, solitary rhythm
It's an urban lullaby
I knew the back of your hand like the back of my hand
We used to go like red and black
And it's so strange to feel this distance where there was once... love
I'm alive like the sound of the wrecking crew
I'm alone with the lights of the avenue
I don't know if I know where I'm going to
Tomorrow's a new day
That's such a cliché
Looking back, all along here
There's nothing wrong here
I still get a little bit crazy sometimes
Had I dream, when I woke up,
You taught me to show up
I guess sometimes you've got to be cruel to be kind
And it's so strange to feel this distance where there was once...love
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'm alive like the sound of the wrecking crew
I'm alone with the lights of the avenue
I don't know if I know where I'm going to
Tomorrow's a new day
That's such a cliché
Girl you really got me.
Got me so I don't know what I'm doing.
Let's go.
Girl, you really got me going.
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing.
Yeah, you really got me now.
Got me so I can't sleep at night.
Yeah, you really got me now.
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing, now.
Yeah, you really got me now.
You got me so I can't sleep at night.
You really got me.
You really got me.
You really got me.
See, don't ever set me free.
I always want to be by your side.
Girl, you really got me now.
You got me so I can't sleep at night.
Yeah, you really got me now.
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing, now.
Yeah, you really got me now.
You got me so I can't sleep at night.
You really got me.
You really got me.
You really got me.
Girl you really got me.
Got me so I don't know what I'm doing.
So I don't know what I'm doing.
See, don't ever set me free.
I always want to be by your side.
Girl, you really got me now.
You got me so I can't sleep at night.
Yeah, you really got me now.
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing, now.
Yeah, you really got me now.
You got me so I can't sleep at night.
You really got me.
You really got me.
You really got me.
You really got me.
You really got me.
